Kolkata, Oct 12 (UNI) " The year 2020 has been riddled with waves of change, be it a 360-degree turn in the way we live our lives to the sweeping changes the New Education Policy has bought in schools and higher education. The new policy has focused on developing critical and mathematical thinking among students and reducing the burden of syllabus focusing on core subjects, " according to Gaurav Tekriwal, whose Vedic Maths Forum has been making headlines by spreading Vedic mathematics to more than four million in India, South Africa, United States, Australia, UAE, Ghana and Colombia.
"Needless to say, to excel in any subject the foundational learning plays a key role. A significant portion of students in the majority of the classrooms is first generational learners in India, who come from a disadvantaged background. This proves to be challenging both for the student and teacher to build a base and ensure foundational strength for further learning."
“One such core subject, which has caused many dreams to be throttled at the beginning, is Mathematics. The subject is seen as complex, difficult and tiring by students. However, since mathematics helps build critical thinking and scientific temperament among children a renewed focused is required on the subject. And like P M Narendra Modi, advised Usman to study Vedic Mathematics to excel in competitive exams in his “Mann Ki Baat” programme."
